Recommended Breast Pumps?

You want a nice quality pump, Medela and Avent are both good and I can use my Medela without pain. It shouldn't be painful, pain means you may be damaging your nipple. Medela also has many "flute" sizes to get a comfortable fit. If you will be pumping for awhile then the couple hundred dollars is a good investment, Medela also makes manual pumps that are quite a bit less expensive. Do not get a brand that makes lots of other products like Evenflo, (Avent is the exception), generally speaking you should be planning to pay at least a hundred or more for a double electric pump, stay way from ones that seem too good to be true (like a double electric with carry bag, bottles, etc for only $30.00).
